Has anyone switched from being Analytics Manager to Product Manager? How did you do it? How do you like it so far? (If you did the vice versa, do you miss being a PM?)

I did. For me, it was all about networking and making those important connections. I also recommend getting a mentor. There are also a lot of great resources online as well. I'm glad I made the switch.

Apply to data product management or technical product management roles. Especially if you're technically gifted from your analytics experience. Easy sell.

I guess it's a broad vs narrow point of view, but agree with above, maybe data management might be a good middle ground
